Priest (5/13)
Cast: Paul Bettany, Karl Urban, Cam Gigandet, Maggie Q
Rated: PG-13
Synopsis: This futuristic vampire flick takes place in a dystopian alternate world in which humans have been mired for centuries in a destructive war with a race of feral bloodsuckers. When vampires kidnap his niece, a warrior monk (Bettany) defies the orders of the Church – the quasi-religious organization that dominates all aspects of society – and comes out of hiding to rescue her. Our Take: Though his first action-hero turn in the supernatural sci-fi flick Legion, proved underwhelming, we’re still on board with Bettany. But the film’s shifting release dates, a disappointing trailer, and overall vampire fatigue have dulled our enthusiasm.
